Metallics N165G5M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics N165G5M hex nut take?
It is a 3/8-16 hex nut, so it threads onto 3/8 inch UNC coarse-thread rod, bolts, and all-thread hanger rod. If your rod is 3/8-16 (the common size for electrical and mechanical hanger rod), this nut mates with it. It will not fit 1/4-20 or 1/2-13 rod.
2) Is the N165G5M nut galvanized for damp or outdoor use?
Yes, the N165G5M is galvanized. That zinc coating gives it more corrosion resistance than a plain or clear-zinc nut, which is why it gets used on hanger rod in parking garages, exterior runs, and damp indoor areas. Pair it with galvanized rod so you are not mixing coatings on the same assembly.
3) How many nuts come in the Metallics N165G5M pack?
The N165G5M ships as a bulk box of 5,000 hex nuts. That is a stocking quantity for an electrical contractor or an MRO crib running continuous 3/8-16 rod work, not a job-count pack. If you only need a handful for one install, a bulk carton is more than you want to carry.
4) Can I use a 3/8-16 hex nut on strut channel and rod hangers?
A 3/8-16 hex nut like the Metallics N165G5M is the standard fastener for 3/8 inch threaded rod drops, strut-mounted hardware, beam clamps, and rod couplings that use 3/8 inch coarse thread. Check the thread on the hanger component itself: anything specified for 3/8 inch rod will accept this nut. Nuts and washers are sold separately, so add flat or lock washers if your detail calls for them.
5) What is the Metallics part number for a galvanized 3/8-16 hex nut in bulk?
Order it as Metallics N165G5M. That designation covers the galvanized 3/8-16 hex nut in the 5,000 piece bulk carton, and it is the number to quote when matching an existing stock item or standardizing a crib.
